I have so many lining my shelf that need to be read, and we have a great library here that I should use more often. </p> <p>Off the top of my head, the books most recently purchased include:<br /> Taking Charge of Your Fertility<br /> Whatever You Do, Don't Run: True Tales of a Botswana Safari Guide<br /> Where'd You Go, Bernadette?<br /> Geek Love<br /> Perfect Puppy in 7 Days </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-the-last-few-books-youve-bought#post-426616 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 07:34:16 +0000 Running Elley 426616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last ones that I've purchased are:<br /> Healthy Sleep Habuts, Healthy Child by Marc Weissbluth<br /> Sleep, Top Tips from the Baby Whisperer by Tracy Hogg<br /> The Queen's Fool by Philippa Gregory<br /> Crossed by Ally Condie </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-the-last-few-books-youve-bought#post-426543 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 01:58:06 +0000 sera_87 426543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: they are GOOD. Really, really good. I also really enjoyed Delirium &amp; Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver.</p> <p>Along those same lines I've heard that The Maze Runner Trilogy by James Dashner is really good as well.</p> <p>As for me, the last two books I've read are FireFly Lane by Kristin Hannah (so-so) and Love Anthony by Lisa Genova (new book by one of my favourite authors, she's ahmazing). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-the-last-few-books-youve-bought#post-426526 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 01:15:26 +0000 MaisyMay 426526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Definitely let me know. I'm always on the lookout for something good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-the-last-few-books-youve-bought#post-426524 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 01:12:59 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 426524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I haven't read them yet, but I heard the same thing! It has great reviews and the plot seems interesting. I'm finishing up a book right now and as soon as I'm done, I'm going to start that series. I'll let you know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-the-last-few-books-youve-bought#post-426523 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 01:11:19 +0000 MaisyMay 426523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am an indiscriminate reader. I'll read just about anything, especially if it's cheap! That being said, over Thanksgiving I hit up the dollar bookstore in LA, bought 25 books for myself and really hope that they last until January, but have some doubts.</p> <p>One favorite that I finished yesterday was Pope Joan: A novel. It examines the evidence behind the legend of Pope Joan after presenting a ficitious account of her life. There was some pretty compelling evidence that a female pope existed, though she lived much of her life disguised as a man.</p> <p>Right now I'm reading "Knock'em Dead," a fluffy little murder mystery.</p> <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I had somebody recommend Insurgent and Divergent to me yesterday since I mentioned that I had liked the Hunger Games. Does that hold true? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-the-last-few-books-youve-bought#post-426520 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 01:01:34 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 426520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My two most recent book purchases were influenced by Hellobee!!<br /> - Nurture Shock<br /> - Nourishing Traditions</p> <p>Then there's...<br /> - Divergent<br /> - Insurgent<br /> - The Game of Thrones Book 2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-the-last-few-books-youve-bought#post-426486 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 00:17:09 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 426486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the last couple weeks I've bought </p> <p>-Young House Love<br /> - The Handbuilt Home by Ana White<br /> - The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-the-last-few-books-youve-bought#post-426482 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 00:13:19 +0000 Mrs. Pen 426482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just check books out from the library as opposed to buying them.

It's been awhile. I did just get Gone Girl (and LOVED it) a few weeks back, I read Wild by Cheryl Strayed (which was...decent enough), and one of my absolute favorite guilty pleasures was 1963 by Stephen King... I gotta get out and buy more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-the-last-few-books-youve-bought#post-426406 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 23:22:55 +0000 Bookish 426406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I work in a library, so I haven't actually *bought* a book for myself in quite some time.
